I made a tiny book I call a "brag book" of our cherished family pet, it is the size of a business card.

Home Decorating Ideas

Have you redecorated and now your old accents don't match the room anymore? Don't throw anything away! Let me show you how I recycled old objects to compliment my newly decorated rooms.

Here is what I did with some typical home accents...I picked up the colors and geometric pattern from the new rug and I painted  the same colors and pattern on an old blue vase, an old white flower pot and a white plastic switch plate. The colors and the square pattern in the rug and the decorative objects now tie the room together! I can add special touches to your home too, just give me a call. Scroll down to see more.
